Sea Creature

Washed up on the sand
and forever parted from the sea.
Even in death you're still beautiful to me.

Adventure Awaits

Travel awaits those who seek
it's a crazy journey, but worth the reach
self-discovery does await
through endless exploring with new mates.
Beaches, mountains, lakes and seas,
hostels, sunsets, noodles, teas.
Memories that will never fade
life-long friendships truly made.
Flying, walking, driving through
learning things you never knew.
Exciting, scary with no plans.
Getting lost in new lands.
These experiences feed the soul
it is an addiction I can't let go.
Adventure awaits those who seek
so get out there and make the reach.

Just Wait

Life is beautiful
Life is great
Sometimes all you need to do is wait.
Wait for the moments
Wait for the pain
Wait for the love that will always remain.
Search for your happiness
Search for your passion
Search for your soul without any ration.
Life is beautiful
Life is great
Treasure your time before it's too late.

Manly

I walk along the soft sand beach
with a warmest in my heart the sun can't reach.
I feel it tingle deep inside
this is a happiness I just can't hide.
The waves are crashing while surfers ride
The sun is shining on bathers near by.
I feel at home as I glance around
nothing can ruin this happiness I found.
As I walk along the crisp white coast
Manly is so beautiful I can't help but boast.

Grandpa John

As the clouds part and the sun shines bright
it is with great sorrow I say goodbye.
My heart is heavy with grief and pain,
but in my memories you will always remain.
Times of happiness
Times of love
Times I will treasure till I'm up above.
I know you are gone, but your love still remains
and we will carry it with us through all the pain.
As the clouds part and the sun shines bright
you are now at peace and can reunite.
